I am in so far over my head. This is going to be an adventure! The kids are super excited about it.

There's a creek on the property. Lots of deer and wild turkey. Probably lots of snakes and critters too. Great. I will scream like a little girl, the first time I see a rodent.What did I get myself into?!

If all goes right, we'll move in less than a month. The house itself is pretty similar to our current one. An old farm house. 5 bedroom. Beautiful hard wood floors throughout.Original glass knobs on every door. French doors into the parlor.

I'll have pictures of the inside soon.

Wish me luck! ---------------------

On a totally different note, please keep The McClenahans in your prayers today. It's been one year since Baby Cora went to be with Jesus. If you have a moment, and feel led to, please stop over and leave them a note of encouragement.

OK. I am seriously jealous!! How rad are your pictures going to be in front of that barn?! Peeling red paint will make a SUPER AMAZING background! lucky lucky LUCKY! Just carry around a BB gun and shoot at the critters. ;)

How fun is that?!you'll be a farmgirl in your jeans and cowboy boots before you know it. :)Seriously, I am happy for you. It looks like a wonderful place to raise a family. If I can spend a week in Nicauagua with spiders and dirt you can surely live on a farm. I have faith in you girlfriend :)

Oh my goodness Beki - that is sooooo, so, so, so, soooo exciting! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! The pictures of it are just beautiful - what beautiful, beautiful land!!!! You are so lucky, and good golly, the memories the kids will have of living there will be priceless! =)

I can not wait to see the pictures of the inside!!! I will definitely stop over to offer encouragment to the McClenahans, my prayers are already with them!

You will eventually love the farm...I guarantee it! We have been on our farm (moved from suburbs) since 1992. It has been an adventure and we have loved every minute of it...in retrospect. Some of it wasn't all that much fun while it was happening. Just think how beautiful that farm will be covered with snow...and in the spring, you will be amazed and delighted by all the surprises you will find...wild violets, daffodils...who knows what will pop up to make you smile. Congratulations! You are going to love it!

Yay and wow that's awesome! You will love the country life - I grew up there too and absolutely loved the quiet! :) How fun and it is true your photos will be so cool next to that barn I am jealous - I love old red barns!!!

how fantastic!! my husband and i just sold our house last night so we can start moving into our HUGE mid century home on 9 acres of woods!! I keep asking myself what can i do with 9 acres! So far I have planned on raising chickens and domesticate myself...we will see where that goes!

My Dear Beki:I want you to know that you have instigated a serious case of Farm Envy in me today! I'm a country girl - through and through - and left 90 acres and a too-big house to live here in Florida on 3 no-so-private acres. My fondest wish is to, not only live on a farm some day, but to have a barn as wonderful as yours to turn into our home! Suffice it to say, I'm seriously jealous!!! ;-)

My prayers will be with your friends today on their awful loss. I hope God heals them to leave them with only happy memories of their child.

Looks like a great place for the kids. 5 bedrooms, I am so envious. I have loved living in the country. My advice-check out the county 4-H program with the county extension agent. We love it! and you will learn so much. Keep chickens besides the fresh eggs that are so good for you. There is something relaxing about watching chickens. By the way 4-H is more than animals and gardens, we do rocketry and photography too.

Hey, now when you're setting dates and locations for photo shoots you can just tell them to meet you in your backyard! Lots of beautiful photo ops there.

On another note, I can't believe it's been a whole year since Cora died. I never met her family or anything, I live all the way in GA, but I remember it touched my heart so deeply the way so many people in the blogging community got together and raised funds for her playground. I'll keep them in my thouhts and prayers.

I just found your blog and it made me SMILE!! I always claim I want to live on a farm, but I'm like you--I am NOT a farmgirl!! Still, what a FUN adventure! :) Looks absolutely perfect! Good luck! I can't wait to see more pictures. :)

I'm breathless...you mean we won't be seeing or hearing from the local PD anymore? With your absence the block will be sooo boring! If you say so, I guess I believe you can survive the country...after all, the backdrop is designed by the Creator and should make for some good pix!---Trenna

oh my gosh?! ALl this AND growing your business?! I wish i lived nearby, I'd love to stop in and hope some of what you've got rubbed off on me- for now I'll have to settle for reading your blog. It sounds lovely and looks like a great place for kids to grow up! Are you actually going to be farming or just living there?!

Beki, I lived in a farmhouse growing up -- it was just for a couple years but it was my most favorite house of my life, other than the one we are in now. I keep telling my Dad I want to go back and find it. I ADORED it. Now you have me convinced I have to try to find it. :) I cannot wait to see the inside of this house!!! Congrats!

i LOVE it!!! i'm a suburbs girl simply cause i'm close to target, but that is my absolute dream scene. wichita is great, but i really want to live outside of town. i am just starting to take photos and i'm wishing i had my farm now!! what a beautiful scene.
